Alice 3D - to echo zen, the 3d didn't add anything positive to it. The set designs looked good enough in 2d that it was not worth the extra. Plot was a bit so-so, too much focus on Depp's "CG-eyes".
The Road - I'm going to have to re-read the book, but some character decisions in the flashbacks were just kinda... dumb... some good apocalyptic imagery and sometimes achieves a good "father-son" emotional dynamic, but pretty flat.
The Book of Eli - I thought it a less realistic but more entertaining post-apocalyptic movie than The Road, though lots of equally stupid character decisions and the twist on the end, while well-executed was a little predictable and not really THAT impactful. Decent flick tho.
The Cove - Thought it was entertaining and did a good job telling a compelling story. I know people that say "well, if you looked at any fishery...", but personally, I'd love to see a bomb dropped on that particular village and those fishermen impaled on hooks and dragged through an angry mob of PETA people.
The Hurt Locker - Good movie, but I didn't really see the Oscar sweeps. The character was interesting enough, but my problem was that I have with many movies- they don't need to be like 3 hours long. Slow story, lots of repetition in scenes. I might have been expecting more "edge of your seat" intense and got a character story instead, though, so hype matters.
And as for TV habits, LOST and 24 have always been my staples. LOST is incredible, but they have a lot to wrap up in 6 more episodes (I CAN'T WAIT FOR TONIGHT'S). 24 peaked in season 4 and has struggled mainly due to stupid-as-shit sideplots and the boring "west wing" element that seemed to merge into the series slowly over time. Last season was decent enough, but this season has been up and down.
Also, Breaking Bad is decent, Dexter is phenomenal, The Office is amazing and I also have a guilty pleasure for antique roadshow and anything with Chef Ramsey in it.
